A Short Film About A Long Adventure
In these two minutes of video we tried to enclose the charge and adrenaline that filled our bags for 28 days.
Embarking on a Vespa journey from the sun-soaked streets of Genova, our adventure unfolded across the heart of Europe. Cruising through the charming landscapes of Italy, the Vespa wove through historic towns and vineyard-draped hills, setting the stage for an epic ride.
Ascending into the Austrian Alps, the scooter embraced the winding roads and alpine vistas. The journey continued through the Czech Republic and Poland, each country leaving its cultural imprint on the path as we reveled in the diverse tapestry of Eastern Europe.
Crossing borders and embracing the Baltic Sea, a ferry transported us to Stockholm. The Vespa then glided through the captivating landscapes of Sweden, from the vibrant streets of its capital to the serene beauty of its northern reaches.
Venturing into Finland, we navigated through dense forests and serene lakes, the Vespa humming along with the rhythm of Nordic tranquility. Reaching Cape North, the northernmost point of our journey, the Arctic winds whispered tales of exploration.
Heading south along the dramatic Norwegian coast, the Vespa hugged the fjords, offering breathtaking views of cliffs plunging into the icy waters. The journey continued through Denmark, where coastal roads unveiled the charm of seaside villages and historic landmarks.
Rolling back into Germany, the Vespa explored the vibrant cities and picturesque countryside, soaking in the essence of German culture. The alpine beauty of Switzerland awaited, and the scooter gracefully wound through the Swiss peaks, a testament to the enduring allure of the European landscape.
Finally, retracing our path through Italy, the Vespa journey came full circle, concluding in the maritime embrace of Genova. The echoes of the road lingered, a mosaic of memories from a remarkable adventure, and as the sun dipped below the horizon, our Vespa, adorned with the dust of distant roads, found its way back home.
We want to thank once again who helped us in this road trip: Ricky and Anna for the hospitality in Bressanone, Jacopo for being such a good guide in Stockholm, and the best mechanic ever Marco Angelosante who knows everything about Vespa.
Symbolically we also thank all the travelers, whose names we don't even remember, met along the way. They stopped us intrigued, filled with questions, stuck our stickers onto their helmets, and with their warmth they made those 8136km definitely out of the ordinary.
